How to calibrate a radiograph, measure off it, plan an osteotomy, and put the result in front of a colleague. Prefer to watch? The guides' videos are all on the Videos page.
Getting started
- App overview and first steps What Librevet does and who it is for, what to do first, what is on the screen, and the ideas the rest of the app is built on.
- Working with cases Creating cases, organising the gallery with folders, and managing patient records.
- Getting radiographs in from your equipment Three routes from your X-ray machine or PACS into Librevet — sending to your own address, searching an existing PACS, and the Librevet Relay for machines that only speak classic DICOM — and sending the day's patient list to your X-ray machine.
Core workflows
- Calibrating radiographs How to set the real-world scale on a radiograph using a calibration marker.
- Taking measurements Length, angle, circle, TPA, CORA, Norberg and the common tangent — when each needs a calibrated film, and how to edit what you have placed.
- Placing implant templates Placing manufacturer implant overlays at true scale, and using the swap panel.
- TPLO planning workflow Start-to-finish TPLO planning: calibration, TPA measurement, osteotomy, rotation, and implant placement.
- Fracture planning Combining measurement, reposition, and templates for fracture repair planning.
- Osteotomy and repositioning tools The Straight, Wedge, TPLO and TTA cuts and the Reposition tools: placing them, adjusting them by hand, tracing a fragment, taking a segment of bone out, and moving it on the film.
- Films and views in a case Adding, naming, hiding, removing and downloading the films in a case, and working with several on screen at once.
